Add the Search Icon or add a shortcut.

I am incredibly confused on why the search icon would be removed. It is so awkward to click on the search bar. Why I have to search is because autofill fails which is becoming increasingly common or ...

    Hello folks, 

    Thanks again for all of the feedback. I thought that I would provide an update in this thread. Based on all of the feedback received from users in the community, social media, support, and other places the team has added the ability to immediately focus the search bar by pulling down on the Home, Items, and Watchtower screens when using 1Password for iOS. 

    You can also immediately launch and focus search by long-pressing on the 1Password icon on your home screen and then tapping Search. 

    The team will continue to iterate and test other approaches for search in the future and we do appreciate all of the feedback, even if specific suggestions/requests in this thread aren't implemented at this time. 

    -Dave

I'm sorry for the impact that this change has caused to how you used search in the past. I know how important it is for search functionality to be intuitive and effective, and how intrusive sudden changes can be. I've shared your feedback with the team.

For the time being, long-pressing on the 1Password app icon from your home screen and then tapping Search will allow you to open search quickly without having to first open the app and then tap on the search field at the top of the screen:

This is a huge step backwards and really makes me question product design decision-making especially also in wake of the recent forcing users to have click through a new-user tour - I've been a user for 7 years!

I apologize for missing this part of your previous comment, thank you for sticking with 1Password for 7 years. That's a long time and we're glad to have you with us.

We'll be rolling out a change with our next stable release to remove the guided setup for any users older than 2 years, we'll also be improving the guided setup with additional skip buttons in future releases.
